After a number of years working as an advertising executive, Cline redirected her career to the fine and applied arts in 1997, when she began to focus on her study of sculpture, ceramics, and furniture design at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington D.C. and the Maryland Institute College of Art and Design. She served as a teaching assistant, studio assistant, and was involved in educational outreach projects at the Corcoran College of Art and Design and is currently an adjunct professor at that school. Cline also serves as a board member for the Washington Sculptors Group. Her sculptures have been shown in various exhibitions at venues in the Washington, D.C. area, New York City, Massachusetts and other states in the Northeast.
